I love the warm and soothing colours of the decor in the first photo! The claypot fish stew would probably be the only thing of the choices here that I would order, even if it is over priced. The rest of the foods don't look very appetizing to me, although the presentation is lovely! Great review, Sean. :)

Linda: thanks! =) yes, you're right, vietnamese food can be a bit of an acquired taste. I like how wholesome and fresh a lot of these recipes taste, even though I might only want to enjoy them once in awhile, not very often =)

Missyblurkit: yeah, it's a shame that heritage row has turned into a somewhat sleazy area. the buildings here are really beautiful, and they deserve to be transformed into great restaurants =) and ya, cungdinh vietnam does serve an impressive array of vietnamese fare! quite difficult to narrow down our choices of what to order :D

Pureglutton: heh, yeah, this was a slightly larger meal for a large number of diners :D oooh, i usually don't like aubergines that much, but this recipe reminds me how enjoyably delicate they can taste :D
